Whether a business provides services or tangible products, invoicing provides an important record of the transaction while reminding clients of the obligation to pay. Free invoice templates in Microsoft Word 2007 are compatible with both Word 2007 and Word 2010, and can help businesses collect for services rendered. Invoices can also act as both a packing slip and request for payment.
Online Invoice Template for Services
This online invoice template for services is available for immediate download in Word 2007. It takes up very little space on a computer, only 51KB. This template includes an area to insert a business logo, and can be customized with name and address information for a business. After downloading the template, simply add the business logo at the top of the page, and business contact information at the bottom of the page to create a template specific to the business.
After the template has been customized, simply save a new copy each time an invoice is needed for a customer, with the customer’s name and address information as well as a date and description of the service, and charges incurred.
Sales Invoice Template
This sales invoice template is an even smaller file, only 35KB. After downloading this file, open it in Word 2007 or Word 2010 to customize the template. Each invoice should include the same basic information about the originating company, but the customer information will change each time. For repeat customers, simply create a template with that customer’s name and address filled in. Then, the only information that needs to be updated for a new invoice is the actual purchase information.
The invoice for sales includes company information, customer name and address and shipping address, as well as item numbers, quantity purchased, and other detailed information about each item on the invoice. This template also provides spaces for shipping terms and both purchase and delivery dates.
Invoices for Customer Convenience
Using an invoice that doubles as a packing slip allows small businesses to save paper and time, both of which are valuable to the company. Customers are able to immediately compare the contents of a package with the invoice, to ensure that billing is accurate. Although customer purchases for services rendered do not require packing slips, an itemized list of purchases and expected payment reduces possible confusion for customers.
